Inside-Out Cheeseburgers
Why put the cheese on top of the burger when half of it just melts off? Instead, form the burger around the cheese so you can char the meat and safeguard the more delicate flavors. Use any mixture of hard or semihard cheeses--Emmentaler and Gouda or Asiago and Parmigiano-Reggiano also pair well.
Avocado-Corn Salsa
A fresh salsa of avocado and corn is great with simple sautéed fish or just about anything Mexican-inspired—huevos rancheros, a quick quesadilla or atop rice and beans.
Sour Cherry-Fruit Slump
A slump (sometimes called a grunt) is a cobbler with light, puffy steamed dumplings, rather than browned biscuit dough, on the top. This variation calls for tart “pie” cherries as well as an assortment of sweeter summer fruit (berries and plums) to round out the flavor and brighten the sour-cherry color. Recipe by Nancy Baggett.
Shrimp & Plum Kebabs
Toss quick-cooking shrimp, juicy summertime plums and zesty jalapeños with a simple cilantro-lime marinade for a deluxe meal in minutes. If you like, use peaches or nectarines in place of the plums and red or green bell peppers for the jalapeños.
Plank-Grilled Sweet Soy Salmon
Using a plank to grill fish keeps it from sticking or falling through the grate and imparts a subtle smoky flavor to the salmon. You could also use mahi-mahi or Pacific halibut in this recipe.
Keep it simple for Father's Day with great grilling recipes, plus sides and desserts guaranteed to please.
Father’s Day can mean some serious grilling. Stores are filled with every gizmo and gadget a dad could use while tending the fire. Here at EatingWell, we think simple is better—especially when the whole idea of the day is to spend time enjoying the family. How about a simple cookout? Dad may still man the grill, but he’s not stuck there all day! Try our Mexican-themed menu or go for the more traditional meal of burgers and salads. Wash the car, mow the lawn and sit down to a great meal. Don’t forget to raise a glass and toast your world’s best dad.
